Just a clarification.

The Old Dutch brand is an 80g bag. The serving size is 14g, so there are 5.7servings per bag (where do they come up with these numbers?) An 80g bag is approximately 3 ounces (I monitor calories as well as carbs, so it could be important to someone else as well).

Anyway, when fitday does its thing (like presenting a Cup of pork rinds or 1 Large Piece of jerky) I go to the USDA database where there is a weight and size option, and PLAIN porkrinds, like these, are there by weight. I use those numbers and a calculator to figure out a bag's worth of carbs, fat and protein, whichever bag or brand I've got, and then plug those in as a Custom ingredient in either Fitday or Mastercook.

Then how much of the bag I might use is easily calculated. It's easier to figure out a half or quarter bag than a 6th, for instance.

Hope this helps.
